ice wine
Ice wine is a type of dessert wine made from grapes that have naturally frozen on the vine. When these grapes are harvested in cold conditions, the freezing concentrates their sugars, producing a sweet, rich flavor. The juice is extracted while the grapes are still frozen, resulting in a smaller yield but a more intense taste. Ice wine is typically enjoyed in small quantities due to its sweetness and is often paired with desserts or enjoyed on its own. It is primarily produced in regions with cold winters, such as Germany and Canada.
